6116.91.00.00 - Of wool or fine animal hair (431)

This HTS classification, 6116.91.00.00, specifically covers knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are exclusively made from wool or fine animal hair. This material composition is the definitive factor for inclusion in this category, encompassing items such as cashmere, merino wool, alpaca, and mohair hand coverings.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. 6116.92.00.00 covers similar knitted or crocheted gloves but made of cotton. 6116.93.00.00 is for those constructed from synthetic fibers, while 6116.99.00.00 encompasses knitted or crocheted gloves made from other textile materials not specified in the preceding categories. The primary differentiator here is the specific classification of wool or fine animal hair as the sole or predominant textile material.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into 6116.91.00.00 is final once the product is identified as a knitted or crocheted glove, mitten, or mitt made of wool or fine animal hair, and does not fall under any other specifically enumerated categories for knitted or crocheted gloves. Examples include knitted wool ski gloves or fine animal hair dress gloves.
